ok, next issue.....the frame came to me with only a couple ratty headset cups, so I popped them out with a headset cup remover and when they came out they have "adapters" on them......set them aside a few days ago on my workbench and sprayed some pb blaster on them hoping to break them apart but so far no go, and last night I measured with a caliper and the "adapter" outside diameter is 1.45

brought them in to work with me, but forgot my caliper, but using a straight edge the actual cup seems to be 1-1/4 +/- so now I am totally puzzled.

I would have thought at 96 they would have at most been 1-1/4 to 1-1/8 but it seems they are 1.5 to 1.25 ? and me without a single front fork with a 1-1/4 steerer, lol.............

so anyone know what the original spec was on these ?

****update-it seems as if these are standard 37mm to 34mm adapters ie:1-1/4” yo 1-1/8” so i just ordered up a fresh set to install the new orbit mx headset*****

Here are my two (now long sold away).... you can see the disk mount on the back of the yellow frame.

very nice !!! and inspiring......no disc wheels at the moment but is that a Foes specific rear mount, or a "early disc caliper" mount.....just wondering how to search as nothing on "Foes disc mount" has popped up so far

I see you were running air shocks on those, was that standard or? mine has a more crude fox rx /spring seems to measure 7.5" give or take eye to eye
